Class II: conditions that directly threaten residents' physical or emotional health, safety or security. A fine is levied even when the problem is corrected.leg.state.fl.us

Class IV: problems with operation, maintenance or required reports and forms that do not have the potential of negatively affecting residents.leg.state.fl.us
Unclassified violations are ones not designated class I to IV, such as violating a licence condition, exceeding licensed capacity or providing services beyond the scope of the licence.leg.state.fl.us
AHCA notes that legal actions are issued to the licensee at the time the case began, so a facility that changed hands can carry actions from a former owner. The full inspection reports are on the FloridaHealthFinder profile (licence 10256).
Memory care
Florida has no separate memory care licence. Palm Terrace Assisted Living Facility & Adult Daycare Center holds an extended congregate care (ECC) licence for 79 beds, which covers supervising residents with dementia.
An extended congregate care (ECC) licence lets a resident age in place: on top of standard assisted living services it covers limited nursing services, total help with bathing, dressing and toileting, and supervision of residents with dementia.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
AHCA's advice: before signing a contract, ask what special services and activities the facility has for people with dementia, how staff are trained for it, and how it keeps residents from wandering off.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
